Was driving air bag never came out the impact was front.

On four separate occasions the car has lost power while in drive on city streets. First occasion April 23 2014 the coolant/water pump failed as did fuse. May 23 fuel pump failed and fuel pump panel. July 28 car died while driving due to faulty fuel injector. Yesterday Aug 15 2016 car again lost power while driving on city streets and had to be towed (fourth time with less than 50k miles) to dealer. I am awaiting diagnosis but no longer feel safe in the vehicle. Twice I was fortunate that police officers showed up and were able to push my car out of traffic and to safety but at this point I believe vw should take action to replace the car as it has clearly proven a safety hazard for myself and others on the road. Respectfully submitted, donna osborne.

Fuse box melting causing light system failure while driving at night. Faulty design/metal screw next to 30 amp fuse causing arc.

Alert messages appeared on the information display stating that multiple exterior lights failed. I checked and there are approximately six exterior lights that are not working. My husband suggested that this might be a fuse. I did an internet search to see if I could determine if there had been a recall regarding this issue. I found articles on several reputable news sites stating that Volkswagen had issued a recall for 800,000 Tiguan models worldwide for lighting issues. When I called our local Volkswagen dealer, they were unaware of any recalls.
